Modding a mod

[John Doom]

Specifically "Earth 2020", I'm trying to update it to 2024. This is my fist civ6 mod and I'm using ModBuddy.
I was able to replace a localization file ("E18_ConfigText.xml") with one updated by me (replacing "Giuseppe Conte" with "Giorgia Meloni") using UpdateText and priority 100 (it wouldn't work without priority); before this I had tried to replace just the Tag I wanted to update with UpdateText, first using xml, then sql: in both cases it would glitch the other localized texts (and sql would require to "INSERT" the tag: "UPDATE" wouldn't work).
Then I tried to replace another localization file ("E18_Text_Leaders.xml") to update Conte's biography with Meloni's. Despite many attempts, I wasn't able to get this change into the game.
I also tried updating Conte's FallbackLeader with one for Meloni: it didn't work and it's not even worth going into specifics...
...Because, overall, I think something is preventing my mod to update "Earth 2020"'s data correctly, even though I have set that mod as required. I'd like to ask the gurus here for advices. Here's my project.
Thank you for your time

It could be against Mod Ethics. I'm not sure if original developer (s) is (are) a member of this page as well. and still an active one.

I was able to make the text work by removing "Earth 2020" as requisite... Is this a thing now...?

I don't know civ6 mod ethics, but I don't think it is an issue here: I'm just making a patch to update some stuff and I'm not taking credits for the original work. I could even name it "Unofficial Earth 2024"

Update: I don't know how to patch the graphics; if I copy "Earth 2020" replace its graphic files, it works, but if I try to make a mod just to replace its graphics, it doesn't work. What's the corret way to do this?
